Hi
@Blissy
Apart from having carers come in 3 x per day to help me with my OH, I have a "sitter" for three hours per week - taken in one 3hr session - from the charity Mind. Initially, the Adult Social Services suggested then, and to start with about 2 yrs ago, the LA paid, but because of their budgetary restraints last financial year, this service is now means tested. Mind charge in the order of £22 per hour in my area. I find this absolutely invaluable.
If you have over £23,250 you are classed as self-funding and pretty much left to get on with it. If you want a sitter/carer etc. I was told by social its down to you to source one. I was also told if you need help finding someone they charge around £300 disgusting!!!!!!
Hi
@jay6.
I didn't pay anyone to find help. (I do pay for getting help)
Our Local Authority Adult Social Services produces each year a booklet about living independently, and in it is lots of info about services available in the area, either free or for which charges are payable. They list befriending charities, sitting services, care providers, etc plus information about places to attend for a PWD such as chat groups for the lonely, memory cafes, singing for the brain, etc etc. One can always look tings up online as well. As the local Carers UK, Age Concern, Mind, etc charities as well.
